My niece is expecting triplets - what vehicle is best suited to take two adults, a seven year old and three babies?

My niece, who already has a seven year old, is expecting triplets. What would be your recommendation for a vehicle suitable to transport two adults, a seven year old and three babies (including all the paraphernalia that goes along with them, i.e. buggies, toys, changing bags etc)? What do you think of imported Japanese vehicles, such as the Honda Stepwagon or the Nissan Elgrand?

A Honda FR-V would have done the job, but getting old now. Japanese scrap van conversions can make some sense as long as you remember that these vehicles were effectively scrap in Japan which is why they were exported to poorer countries with lower standards.
